Have you ever considered to combine Bluetooth speakers and a DMM?

No?

Well, ANENG did and this is the result (source):



One can buy this innovative unit here.

    

And to quote our TEA-Dwagon:   "Mooooh....?"

You can put that in the same place bd drops his iPhones

This is the promise of home 3DP fulfilled; a few minutes (45 including slicing) designing, set the machine to work and go on aboot your business. Come back in a few hours and you have a complete, ready to use part waiting to be popped off the bed and put to use.

And now a digital picture frame that was destined to be eWaste becomes an extra Xmas prezzie for mom-in-law; one we know she'll love as it comes loaded with pics of us she hasn't seen.

Nice work!  Plus, I am surprised at no comments about Fusion 360.

LOL    For sure you mom-in-law has never seen pics of "us".  Do you pass off TEA members as your family? Just ... could ... not ... resist ... that  Your text did not match the safe for here (TEA) sample picture 

Actually, I did pretty well with Frustion360 on this one. Went in with a plan, design proceeded as planned without any gotchas, got out with my sanity intact. Well, no less intact than usual... 

As for the pic... any evidence that I do in fact leave the house from time to time gets a  from mom-in-law.

Bush ? Only red dust on the Nullabor ! 

"Nullarbor" is a bit of a misnomer, as there is quite a bit of shrubby vegetation, not to mention Spinifex & the like.
People say they've "crossed the Nullarbor", when they come via the Eyre Highway, but it is really mostly situated on the coastal plain.

Of course, that ellipse includes a lot of sea, too, which would not be beneficial to test equinpment.,

Yeah I was only poking Bean in the ribs for calling anywhere out of town bush !

Don't think I'll ever do the Eyre and even wonder when the hell we'll get back to Perth to see our lad and grandies.
Need to look you up next time over also as we generally got some time to kill.

Last time I was at Lake Eyre we got three inches of rain. Flooded everywhere  Two weeks later the wildflowers all over the desert were stunning

if that is as thunderous as your spiders are venomous then I'd rather be somewhere else ... (which I am, but ... whatever ...)

But the Flowers 

The Inland Deserts are home to several nasty species of Snake and Scorpions are more of an issue in the desert than the Spiders  I would drop some photos up but they are on a CD and well who has one of those ancient devices on their PC these days....

One should avoid this one:

Only snake you need to avoid here is my ex wife.

Married to an Inland-Taipan?

YOU are a very brave man, sir!   

[med6753]

The mother of my children. 

[beanflying]

I think some of you are being unkind to Snakes, generally they like to sleep peacefully in the Sun and will move away rather than attack unless cornered

[BU508A]

The mother of my children. 

Hmmmmmmmm

This doesn't really speak for your taste regarding women.

I would generally support bean in that comment, while our snakes can be deadly - they are mostly going about there own business - they only usually get pissed if you are not looking where you are going and nearly or actually tread on one. While the inland taipan has the most deadly venom (i think world wide) its cousin the eastern brown is much more common and widely found in the bush surrounding our cities. It is, I think, number 2 on the poison rank.
The national park (Cleland) where i cycle and walk 3-5 times a week is a known habitat - I only hear or see one once or twice a year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_brown_snake?wprov=sfla1
Now  drop bears - they are something else!

Just picked up a set of Keysight 34138A probes: https://www.ebay.de/itm/274606811785

For €11.50 I couldn't leave them there. For German/European members, there's still 7 sets available if you are quick.

She was not like that in the beginning. As the religious fanaticism took hold the metamorphosis took place and one day she burst out of her cocoon with this result.

-hp- 410b update:

Banana jacks and plugs arrived. (I'm going to perform atrocities to my christmas tree light chain using a safety plug and jack combo too, update on that will come)

The new lab cable and the main filter cap are in town (Landed with the Fedex morning flight from CDG), but I don't think the local distribution will make it today. Fedex site predicts Monday.

I'm watching on restoring the Milspec variant of the 410b, the Sentinel ME-26D/U. He is thorough, and a bit, well, Mr Carlson.

Thanks, but I'll take my chances and wait for a bit -- my seasons wish list contains one of the larger Probemaster kits, and the Wife is really good as a guided enabler...

Afaik Welectron is shipping to Sweden, too.

Edit:
ordered two of the 34138A sets, I think, I can spare one, if you want.
